Characterization and optimization of the ParB_INT imaging tool
(Master thesis, 2020)Partitioning B (ParB) proteins are key to the prokaryotic partitioning machinery which ensures proper segregation of replicated plasmid DNA strands. ParB proteins bind specifically to a centromere-like parS sequence, from ... -
Characterization of binding ability of the commercial and novel feed binders in starch and protein based particles
(Master thesis, 2020)Pelletization aims to agglomerate a small particle of feed to become a larger particle using pressure, moisture, and heat. Pellets must have a basic form of physical quality in terms of hardness and durability to withstand ... -
Characterization of chromatin-bound interactome of cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12)
(Master thesis, 2020)Proper gene expression relies on control by an abundant number of factors and mechanisms, and the orchestration of these fine-tuned programs is fundamental in cellular functionality. Transcription regulation by RNA polymerase ... -
Characterization of Computational Pipelines for Structural Variant Detection Using Short-Read Sequencing Data in Arctic Charr.
(Master thesis, 2023)Structural variants (SVs) are an important emerging class of genomic variation with pivotal implications for evolution, adaptation, and phenotypic diversity. As a cold-water salmonid fish displaying extensive niche variation ... -
Characterization of Functional Physical Properties of The Dry Pet Food Manufactured with Animal, Plant, and Microalgae Ingredients
(Master thesis, 2021)The aim of the thesis is to gain better understanding on the effects of defatted microalgae biomass (Desmodesmus sp.), vital wheat gluten and potato protein on physical qualities of extruded dry pet food. Two experiments ... -
Chemical changes seen in protein during pelleting : a literature review
(Master thesis, 2017)Pelleting induced changes in protein denaturation with exposure to heat is to milder level. Denaturation of protein showed better digestibility of protein molecule. Change in the secondary structure i.e. alpha helix, beta ... -
Colonization and the Decline of Indigenous Food Systems, A Case Study of Finger Millet in Chikuwa, Zimbabwe
(Master thesis, 2023)Indigenous food systems play a critical role as we battle with global climate change. These still exiting smallholder farmers sustain much or the world biodiversity and ancient land-based wisdom. Although these food systems ... -
comparing pig production in China, Norway and Ghana with special emphasis on breeds/breeding, feed and feed ingredients, health status, management and economy
(Master thesis, 2022)This thesis give a comparison of pig production in China and Norway both temperate countries and Ghana (tropical country) with special emphasis on breed/breeding, feed and feed ingredients, health status, management and ... -
Comparison of production and health status of purebred Holstein and Norwegian Red x Holstein crosses in the UK
(Master thesis, 2022)The goal of this thesis was to compare performance of purebred Holstein cows, Holstein crossed with Norwegian Red (NR) and various crossbreed combinations that included NR, by comparing their milk traits (kg. milk, fat ... -
Connection between degree of confident behaviour and social motivation in domestick mink
(Master thesis, 2019)Dyrevelferdsmessige utfordringer knyttet til gruppehold av husdyr er et viktig tema i den offentlige debatten, særlig av arter som i naturen lever som solitære rovdyr og med svært territoriale instinkter. Oppdrettsmink er ... -
Consumer food practices towards sustainable food systems : the case study of the Valle dei Laghi Biodistrict, Italy
(Master thesis, 2023)The redesign of the global food system is urgent and biodistricts have the potential to lead the trajectory towards sustainable modes of production and consumption. Consumers are unanimously recognised a key role in achieving ... -
Creating a typology of U.S. organic grain farmers using reduced tillage
(Master thesis, 2020)Despite an increasing number of studies demonstrating the feasibility and value of integrating reduced tillage practices into organic cropping systems, adoption of these practices has been slow, with tillage and cultivation ... -
CRISPR based functional characterization of the abcg2b gene contribution to muscle pigmentation in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2020)Red flesh coloration is an important trademark of salmon meat and commonly associated with its quality. The colour intensity is largely controlled by diet composition and mainly caused by the red pigment astaxanthin, which ... -
